    Path of a conducting sphere through a uniform magnetic field

    Thanks for the response Vanadium, for this scenario, the pure Aluminum ball would be in free fall, starting from an area with no magnetic field. it would then cross a uniform horizontal magnetic field created between two vertically mounted plate magnets. Then exit the magnet field as it...

    Path of a conducting sphere through a uniform magnetic field

    Thanks for the responses, I've seen those videos of the magnet falling through an aluminum tube. The reason I was wondering if this case would be different is because the magnet falling through the tube has the magnetic field wrapping around and hence has field lines going in the direction of...

    Path of a conducting sphere through a uniform magnetic field

    Hello, could someone help answer this question for me: How would the path of a conducting sphere (i.e. AL) be affected as it passes through a strong uniform magnetic field orthogonal to the direction of motion. I believe the Lenz effect/Eddy currents will create a magnetic field opposing the...

    Cryogenic Materials for Bladder

    Ideally the bladder would need to collapse completely. Could there be any type of Silicon, plastic or rubber compound that might work?

    Cryogenic Materials for Bladder

    Would anybody know the following or be able to point me to a web resource? Thanks Do you know of any materials that retain some elasticity at cryogenic temperatures in the 20 degrees Kelvin range? This would be for a bladder that would hold liquid nitrogen in a bath of liquid Hydrogen or...
